Impact of the weather Yes, people tend to blame the weather for their state of health. They tend to think that the weather can trigger a headache or migraine. To my mind, the weather is not the main reason of the suffering of people. Poor physical preparation can be causes of migraines. The body has to be ready for the changes for barometric pressure, temperature and so on. I think, people don’t should use the prescribing drugs to prevent the effects of the weather. If a man had been more prepared, then there would not have been the problems with an impact of the weather. In Russia, each season has own temperature, barometric pressure, humidity and colors of the pictures around. People have to buy the different clothes for each season. People suffer from migraines because of the often changes of the weather. People need the weather forecast for the next day to be ready and might be able to prescribe drugs to prevent the effects. If forecast is incorrect then people will suffer from migraines and impose a huge drain on the economy from sickness absence. People can have a bad mood because of the lack sun days in the year. Someone resolves this problem with alcohol which also can trigger migraine an sickness absence.

Anna's birthday Her name was Anna. She created her own company at the time when she was a lovely unmarried girl and still lived in her parent’s house. All that time her company had been showing sustainable growth. Anna was a bullish woman with a strong will. She never gave up until she got an absolute victory in business. Even during a vacation she didn’t allow herself to rest, she was always in the loop and knew about everything that was going on in her company. She made a killing and had everything that a man could ever dream of. The employees respected her. Anna never allowed anyone to call the shots instead of her and never admitted guilt. Even the smallest probability of their product bombing led her into a rage, in such moment she got a rampant view. It is always difficult to find out why you have become the man who you are now. There are so many things which influence us during our life. In Anna’s case, the most important factor was her father, or more precisely his absence. He left his family for another woman the day when she turned five years old. Anna clearly remembered that day, she had been sitting on the steps of her house and looking forward to father returning from work, as the day before her dad had promised to bring the doll who able to say “mama” and close her eyes if you put her on her back. Having imagined how she would play with the doll, Anna didn’t notice that daylight had given way to dusk and it had cooled down. She sat all evening until the moon and stars appeared inthe sky. Then mom came, tired and emotionless, and said that dad had fallen in love with another woman and would never come back.

What if If I had not born in Russia, I would not be able to speak Russian and read Russian classic literature. If I had not known Russian, I would have wanted to learn it. I wish I were able to speak English fluently. Were I from the UK I would read English classics in the original. As soon as I get a quite high level of English I will start to learn another language. If I had not been Russian, I would have traveled to Russia and tried to learn Russian. When I was a boy I was going to become a surgeon. If I had become a surgeon I would have killed quite a lot people and would be crazy. If I had not become a programmer I would be completely different a man. Profession plays a crucial role in human life. I would like to be a film director. If I were a film director I would film really nice movie and show the life as I can see it. Creativity must be in every human life. Had my grandpa been alive, he would have taught me how to weave baskets and how to collect mushrooms. If there were a time machine I would go to the time of youth of my parents and then of my grandparents. If I met myself in the past I would say: “Girls, who refused you, will become the unpleasant persons. Thank heaven, that none of them will not become your wife.” I wish I would stop thinking about all of that. If people could read the thoughts of other people, the life would be much more complicated. If I had known that the weather is not so cold today, I would put on a shirt with short sleeves.

Guess what? - Please keep it to yourself, I don’t care what you have. - Come on! Guess which hand? Don’t be shy! Man pulled two clenched fists. - It is getting beyond a joke! Ok, this one. - Apparently, today is really not your day. Unfortunately, you missed. Why don’t you try again. In that moment there was only one clenched fist. - Why don’t you just shut up, idiot. You are driving me up the wall. If you don’t leave me alone I will call the police. You have my word! Young man stopped smiling, took out a gun and said quietly - I think we shouldn’t call the police, they are so busy and might have more important things. Please, make this damn choice… I have a strong feeling that this time you'll have more luck. - Oh my God! You must be crazy! Ok, hell with you, this one. Young man hid his gun, unclenched fist and began to smile as before - Excellent! Well done! You are lucky! Victory! - Candy? For me? Hmm.. Thanks, that’s kind of you. Oh, It is so delicious! …and yes, you are right, the weather is really nice today… The remaining time they sat in silence.

Sometimes dreams come true It was the most important moment in his life and the history of all humanity. His spacecraft landed on the planet Saturn. Having imagined that moment so many times in his mind, he was now sitting in the chair and looking at the surface of Saturn through the huge screen of the spacecraft. He remembered the day when he got fired from his boring office job. He was not a child, but he couldn’t get himself to think about anything other than stars. He was so shy that he couldn’t make himself talk with anyone about it. He asked himself what he had to do now. It seemed It was time to achieve the dream. Some days later he got selected in a team for the flight to Saturn. He didn’t care how much money he would get paid for that. There was only one chance and he couldn’t lose it, despite his dream stealing him from his family. Recalling all of that he got outside, set foot on the surface of the planet and felt…nothing.

A man who lost himself A man woke up in the middle of the night and sat on the bed. He looked out the window and saw the clouds drifting across the sky. It was a foggy November. It seemed that all his life was not so long as this autumn. These timeless gray days were not going to finish. The dim light of the moon illuminated the room. Last days he couldn’t sleep peacefully. During the day, this feeling was not so strong, but when the night came, he felt that some strange thoughts creep into his mind. He understood that if he didn’t find out what’s going on, something terrible could happen. Despite the cold in the flat it was hard to breathe. He laid down on the bed but he couldn’t fall asleep. It was impossible to sleep and he decided to go out and strolled around the city for an hour. He did so at times. The street was silent. He walked down the street. At the end of the street, he saw a light from windows. It was a musical school, and at this moment he realized that he was late for a lesson. He sprinted to avoid the anger of the strict teacher of music. He breathed frosty air and ran as fast as he could. The music school was light and warm. The sounds of eternal classical music came from all sides and merged into a single cacophony. Then he saw the strict teacher, who came to him and said: “Get a move on! Time has come, show all of them what you can do!”. «Sorry, but I don’t remember how to play…” – the man said quietly. The man briefly looked up at the teacher but there was no one around, it was dark.. «Where are you?» - cried a man in the darkness. «Enough, calm down, son. It is too late. Mom must be worried. We’d better get moving». The man turned and saw his father, who was young and strong, his eyes sparkled and his mouth steamed. There was snow around the street. Snow gleamed under the light of the street lamp. «Sit on the sledge, son, I’ll take you home» - said father with a kind smile. A man was sitting on the sledge and was on the verge of falling asleep. “Do you remember how you argued with your mother today? You are wrong, your mother loves you.” – said the father softly. He said something else, joking and laughing. A man sitting in the sledge felt better than ever before. He almost didn’t listen to what the father was telling him and just at times answered with a smile: «Yes, Dad… of course dad..»
